Halloween Party // l.h

14

" I didn't even get out of the building, I realized that I'm a complete idiot for leaving like I did,"

" Yeah, you are an idiot," I said, no humor intended behind it. The corner of his mouth curled up into half a smile and a little dimple poked into his cheek.

" Really Luke, why are you here?" I asked wanting a reason, not the very obvious fact that he is an idiot.

" Because I have feelings for you and I like you...a lot.. like a whole lot," He confessed to me, so this wasn't just a one night stand to him? I'll admit that made my heart race and made my brave front fault for a moment, but he had still left. My pride has been hurt and I'm not about to back down. I won't be pushed around and used.

" Then you-you wouldn't of left," I stated strongly, I put my hand on the door ready to close it in his face. I need to be strong and stand up for myself.

" Wait!" he said stepping towards me and pressing his hand against the door stopping it from being shut. " I wish I didn't leave, I shouldn't of left, so don't make me leave. I have feelings for you, I can't let you slip away," He pushed the words out so quickly that it was obvious how desperate he was, the pleading look in his blue eyes only expressing his desperation further.

" There's no point in you staying if I don't have the same feelings," I said in a slightly harsh tone, straightening my posture as I spoke. What that sentence had implied was that I have no feelings towards him, it was a lie. Of course I have feelings for him, but I don't want him to know that.

" But I think you do," He said half smiling at me. The tone in his voice suggested he thought he was absolutely correct and he was.

" What makes you so sure of that?" I asked folding my arms over my chest.

" Because your trying to slam this door in my face," He smirked, why is he smirking? I was expecting some dickhead comment about having sex last night, but he's talking non sense. What happened to the desperate guy, it's almost as if he is trying to annoy me right now.

" Yes, I want you gone because you left and that stung," I stated. I couldn't hold eye contact as I said that. Something about being so slightly vulnerable to him made my eyes flicker to the ground and avoid his eyes.

" Exactly," He said softly but also very matter of factly, as if I was supposed to finally comprehend what he was getting at.

" What?" I said stepping back, my forehead frowning in confusion.

" Look you would of only felt hurt if you cared, and if you care than you must have some kind of feelings for me," He said like he wanted me to stumble upon a realization of my feelings.

" I-I...is this some kind of fucked up test?" The stutters just slipped from my mouth along with a curse. Why does he have to be right? it's annoying that he's right.

" Just tell me if I'm wrong," He sighed like he was nearing the end of his battle. I kept my gaze on the floor, to avoid the pressure that comes with eye contact and give me a second away from his enticing eyes to think over what I'm going to say next.

" Yes, you hurt me, because I let myself have feelings for you so quickly. But I've learned too many times in the past that if you get hurt once you shouldn't wait around for it to happen again, that's why I want you gone. It didn't just sting Luke, it cut me, it hurt so damn bad and I don't want it happening it again," I explained to him feeling vulnerable and exposed. I don't like feeling like this around anyone I don't trust. I tightened my grip on the door ready to push him out and separate myself from him as a defense.

" Wait," He stopped me from closing the door by pushing on it with more force. My strength was no match compared to his and I dropped my arm to my side accepting the only way he was going to leave was through a verbal argument not physical. Both battles I seem to be losing.

" Luke please," I sighed, why won't he just give up? it's only making this harder for me. Every second he stands here arguing and pleading with me is another moment I contemplate changing my mind on how I feel about him staying.

" I would never hurt you again. I know you deserve so much better than some loser still in his ninja turtle Halloween costume from the night before," He sighed at himself, he was in fact still dressed as an unmasked ninja turtle. " but-but all I want is one chance and for you to do me a favour."

" A favour?" I questioned his words. He seriously wants the kindness of me doing him a favour after everything?

" Yes, if you agree to it, then I'll owe you one."

" What is it?" I asked him flatly but the curiosity bubbled inside me. I also obviously wanted to know what it was before agreeing or disagreeing. He turned his head away, taking a breathe before facing me quickly and letting his speech out at pace faster than usual.

" Go on a date with me?" He asked hastily. His eyes were wide like a puppy, seeming scared for my reply, his brave front was complete over taken by a nervous, jittery teenager and seeing him like that made me want to accept so badly.
